Our services
Everything the roof needs. Nothing you don’t.
Black Spruce is a solar specialist for Cape Town and surrounds — supply, install, maintain and certify, with the owner on site.
Solar installation
Systems sized for small homes or large estates — panels, hybrid inverters and batteries that match how you actually use power.
Maintenance
Keep generation up and warranties intact. We service existing plants, diagnose faults, and leave the roof tidy.
Compliance
SSEG registration, CoC and the paperwork the City of Cape Town actually wants. Certified SAPVIA PV GreenCard installer.
Products
Panels, inverters and lithium batteries to complete a new system or extend one that’s already on the roof.
Affordability calculator
City tariff vs loan payment
Pick a system, set the interest rate, and compare the City of Cape Town Home User bill with the monthly loan — two separate numbers, not mixed together.
City of Cape Town tariff
R 4 400/mo
Home User 2026/27 · about 992 kWh
- Service charge
- R 424,30
- Energy
- R 3 975,70
- Total to the City
- R 4 400
After solar, the City still collects the Home User service charge. This column is the bill as it stands today — not mixed with the loan.
Monthly loan payment
R 2 250/mo
5 kW · 60 months · 12.50% p.a.
Loan is R 2 150 less per month than the City tariff.
Estimates only — roof pitch, shading and geyser load change the figure. Most appliances except geyser. A free site inspection is the real quote.
Neat work, on time, owner on site — the opposite of a fly-by-night inverter job.
About Black Spruce
Solar that is built, not just sold.
As an established company with over a decade in the building industry, we stay on top of the market so clients get the service they actually need. Demand for renewable power in the Cape is not a trend to us — it is the work.
We help you cut the energy bill, shrink the carbon footprint, and take the sting out of load shedding by making solar straightforward to put on the roof.
Owner on the roof
Werner is a certified SAPVIA PV GreenCard installer and stays on site. You are not handed to a subcontracted crew.
Building-industry years
Over a decade serving Cape building work before solar. Roofs, structure and finishes are not a mystery to this team.
Paperwork included
Installation documents, CoC and City SSEG registration so the system is legal, insurable and grid-compliant.

WhatsApp or a call

02
Site inspection
Werner visits, looks at the roof, the DB and the loads, and answers the technical questions properly.
03
A system that fits
Panels, inverter and battery sized to your house — not a catalogue package that wastes roof space.

Owner-supervised install
The team arrives on time, works clean, and finishes inside the window we quoted.
05
Handover & compliance
You get the documents, the walkthrough, and City registration so the plant is legal from day one.

Load shedding is not a lifestyle.
A hybrid system on a Cape roof pays for itself in bill savings — and in evenings that stay on.
Talk to us tonightClient testimonials
The reference we are happy to pass on.
“Werner, owner of Black Spruce and certified SAPVIA PV GreenCard installer, visited for a site inspection and answered every technical question. The team were on time, extremely professional, and finished inside the estimate. Documents were supplied. I recommend them for a new plant or an addition to an existing one.”
“I live alone and was sceptical of investing a large amount in solar — how wrong. It has literally changed my life. Excellent workmanship and clear communication. The install went far smoother than the horror stories I’d heard. I would happily recommend BLACK SPRUCE to anyone.”
“I had a rough time with the guy who put in the inverter and battery — shoddy workmanship and no knowledge of his product. You were the opposite. You went above and beyond, and you got those panels at a great price.”
Panels · inverters · batteries
Hardware that earns its keep after dark.
We specify hybrid inverters and lithium storage that cover the evening peak — not just a pretty array for midday. Existing backup plants can be extended with more roof and a proper handover.
Contact
Free consultation. Real numbers after we see the roof.
Call, mail or WhatsApp. Most Cape clients start on WhatsApp — we reply with a time for a site inspection.
